My Daughter the Socialist

I was reading through Lucy's schoolwork and came across this (she had been reading about King Midas):
"I don't think people should spend all their life to get rich.  I think people can if they want to.  If you are rich you can't make friends.  When you are rich you can have lots of toys.  I think people that try to get rich should share their wealth."

It's not my place to judge your parenting, but, Anna, I'm disgusted. Don't you read the scriptures to your children? Before Lucy ever thinks that wealth is to be shared again, she needs to ask herself: WWJD?!?!?

By their fruits ye shall know them.

In Lucy's defense, advocating that rich people share their wealth is not the same as the government forcing people to share their wealth.

I'm just sayin.' She may be a true-blue, cold-blooded capitalist after all. Well...maybe warm-blooded.
